| 839889 | 2009-12-16 15:36:00 | how much does it cost to get a speed sensor re-calibrated on an automatic vehicle and does a mechanic or auto electrician do it and how long would it take? my car came with 13inch tyres and then i got 14inch tyres so would my speedometer reading be inaccurate? |

| 839890 | 2009-12-16 19:01:00 | Get big dia. rims and ultra-low profile tires, never run over a kerb and stay off gravel roads. Better still, leave the car permanently on the front lawn so everybody can see what you have done. ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||

No idea on cost, generally just easier to go for a wheel+tire combo that suits the stock speedo. If you went from 13 to 14 inch youd need slightly lower profile tires but chances are they're the same or only small difference |

| 839892 | 2009-12-17 05:12:00 | Thanks for the input folks. Given that the existing wheels are really nice, and the costs involved (I didn't think about the insurance aspect), I'll stick with what I've got. My initial reason for wanting to upsize is that the wheel wells on the car could easily take an inch or more. But money talks. Thanks again. |
